Welcome on board the trail of the cities and sites that were important in Germany during the Swedish Period of 1630-1815. Approximately 700 km in length, this cultural and historical route follows German-Swedish history through the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and parts of Brandenburg. The fascination of the "Old Swedes".
The Swedish Heritage Route consists of both a coastal route, a western route and an eastern route. It spans from the Baltic Sea island of Rügen to Großbeeren east of Berlin , from Gadebusch in the west to Peenemünde and the island of Usedom in the east.
Let us be your guide
This route tells of significant events such as the Thirty Years' War, the rise and fall of Sweden as a great power, the rise of Prussia, the social changes that took place in the 18th century and the upheavals of the Napoleonic Wars. It includes sites of touristic interest commemorating Swedish-German history from 1630 to 1815, a time known as the Swedish Period in Northern Germany. Even today many relics from this period remain.
The Swedish Period
In 1630 Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden and his troops landed on the island of Usedom in Eastern Germany. From here he conquered the Duchies of Pomerania-Stettin and Wolgast, so commencing a period that is commonly known as the "Swedish Period" today. This period began in 1630 in the midst of the disturbances brought by the Thirty Years' War and ended with the return of Wismar to Mecklenburg after being in pledge to Sweden for 100 years.
Swedish traditions and an abundance of nature
German-Swedish history is brought to life in the route's numerous museums. The Baroque castle and gardens of Griebenow in Pomerania, for example, are a symbol of the Swedish Era of Great Power. A journey through history on the Swedish Heritage Route also brings together the best that culture and nature have to offer. Swedish traditions, including the annual St. Lucy's Day celebrations, are still observed today in some communities along the coast of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and the uniquely beautiful and diverse countryside on either side of the route truly has something to offer everyone.

Chicago Fire Head Coach and Director of Soccer Frank Yallop
Overall thoughts on the match
"Well, good to get a point, our first point this season. I thought we played very well in the first half; could have maybe been two-up, but that's soccer. You've got to take your chances, but, in the end, with what happened in the match, getting the red card and being under a lot of pressure at the end, I think we did well to hold onto the point. Had a couple chances real late to maybe win it, so all-in-all happy with the performance of the team and, obviously, not overly pleased we didn't get three points, but it's a start for us. We're building for the future."
On the four line-ups changes from last week's match against Chivas USA:
"Just wanted to freshen it up. I thought it wasn't good enough last week when we played at Chivas USA. I thought we performed very well today. Harry Shipp had his first game, was great. Benji Joya had a start as well. Matt Watson, who I picked up from Vancouver, had a tremendous game today. I had Quincy Amarikwa up top and I thought Quincy was a real handful all game. He's doing well, he works hard at his game, and those guys did really well today and I was happy."
On the team's performance:
"The response today was excellent. I thought our character was strong, we didn't buckle, we kept going. That's the sign of a good team, so hopefully that's the sign for us moving forward. We don't really have any natural wingers and I think Portland's strength is down the middle. Once they get themselves dipped inside they're very good in those underneath positions, underneath the back four and [Darlington] Nagbe coming off the line and stuff like that. So tactically we plugged the middle and I think we did a great job of that. Nicking balls and then broke on them a few times. Maybe could have punished them a bit better in the first half, but still our game plan worked. I thought we nullified a lot of the play, especially the first 60 minutes. Again, it was a good performance by us and I'm proud of the guys and proud of the way they handled themselves today."
Thoughts on the red card for Nyarko:
"To be honest, I'd have to look at it again. But you have to make sure that's worthy of a second yellow. I thought the first one, Nagbe had already played it, why didn't he just play on or give a foul and not a yellow? The second one, it was right in front us. Patrick [Nyarko] was on the other side, so I couldn't really see, but again it's got to be worthy of the foul. I can't really comment until I see it."
Fire midfielder Matt Watson
On his first start in his first game with the Fire:
"It's obviously good to get into the team. Obviously, I've got a lot to learn about how [Chicago] play and things like that. All the guys have been really welcoming since I've been here. We've come to Portland and to get a hard-fought point is good, but it's disappointing we couldn't get three."
On Chicago's performance
"I think we just need to clean up on small things. You can see the fight is there, things like that. All the basic fundamental things are there, but we need to just maybe relax a little bit on the ball; just play. If we can just take a step back, relax, play, we'll be great this year. We've got some great guys. [Quincy] Amarikwa was fighting for every ball. When you see that, it just inspires you to play and get behind him and push up, things like that. If we clean up on the small things we'll be great."
Fire midfielder Harry Shipp
On making his debut
"It was obviously exciting, especially playing here for 90 minutes in front of a great crowd. It's definitely something I've been working towards my entire life and to finally make the debut is special. I wish, obviously, we would have gotten the three points. Thought we had it at the end in stoppage time, but overall not too bad of a way to start."
On Chicago's tactical approach to Portland
"We had a lot of changes from the lineup last week, so I think our first and foremost responsibility was getting those good spots defensively. I think Lovel [Palmer] on the right, Gonzalo [Segares] on the left really did a good job talking to the outside mids in terms of cutting off those interior passes because obviously that's what Portland likes to do first is find those guys in the seams. So I think, kind of forcing them wide, we were able to do that and kept them from being extremely dangerous."
On Chicago's performance:
"Quincy did a great job drawing the penalty kick first. I think we came out confident. We didn't want to be shy. We felt like we didn't come out with as much energy as we would have liked to last week, so we really wanted to change that this week. Then giving up the goal wasn't what we wanted, but I think we responded pretty well. We had a couple good chances after we gave up that goal to actually steal the game and win 2-1. So overall I think we responded pretty well to giving up the goal."

"That part of the law will be in place," William Rubenstein, state commissioner of the Department of Consumer Protection, said in a recent interview. Where they get that marijuana will be, for the near future, up to them. The state's system of growing, distributing and selling medical marijuana -- approved by the General Assembly last month and signed into law by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy on June 1 -- will be a complicated business. The regulations that will govern how growers in the state raise marijuana and how licensed pharmacists dispense it have yet to be written. When they are, they'll have to pass muster at a public hearing and win the approval of the General Assembly's Legislative Review Committee. "That can take a while," observed state Rep. Robert Godfrey of Danbury, who voted for the medical marijuana bill. "We hope to have the entire law up and running sometime in 2013," Rubenstein said. When that happens, the state will join 16 others in what is, in effect, both a medical and a social experiment -- whether Connecticut can successfully manage a system for the legal sale of marijuana, which the federal government still lists as an illegal drug. Allen St. Pierre, executive director of NORML -- the National Organization to Reform Marijuana Laws -- said there have only been federal raids in states where there has been blatant abuse and disregard of state regulations, notably California. "Generally speaking," St. Pierre said, "where people have been compliant, there hasn't been a problem." Many doctors now see marijuana as an acceptable product to prescribe in the right situations. "There are always new treatments, new modalities coming along," said Dr. Patrick Broderick, chairman of emergency medicine at Danbury Hospital and president of the Western Connecticut Medical Group. "You don't want to be way out ahead of everybody, but you want to be able to help your patients. If we have another tool to help patients, that's a good thing," Broderick said. Dr. Robert Kloss, an oncologist at the Praxair Cancer Center at Danbury Hospital and a doctor who works in hospice and palliative care, said patients are well-informed of what's happening in the other states where medical marijuana is legal, thanks to the Internet and a variety of social networks. "People are very informed," Kloss said. And, he said, there's strong anecdotal evidence -- if not rock-solid, double-blind medical studies -- that people get relief from smoking marijuana. Kloss said people on chemotherapy use it to reduce nausea and as an appetite enhancer; people with colitis, inflammatory bowel disease and Crohn's disease have reported a improvement in bowel function through smoking marijuana; people with multiple sclerosis say marijuana can control their tremors. "There are receptors in the brain that are affected by cannabinoids," he said of the chemical compounds in cannabis (marijuana). "And these chemical agents do have beneficial effects." They may include anti-inflammatory effects and effects on the immune system, Kloss said. "There are studies in mice that show it may have an effect in cancer cell suppression," he explained. Dr. Peter Rostenberg, an internist and family doctor in New Fairfield, said he has treated people with a serious addiction to marijuana and knows its effects. But Rostenberg said he could see himself prescribing medical marijuana for some of his patients. "If it's strictly regulated, it will be a benefit," he said. The first laws allowing medical use of marijuana were passed in 1996 in California, St. Pierre of NORML said. Canada approved medical marijuana use in 2001. Four states in New England now allow its use -- Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maine and Vermont.St. Pierre said there has never been a study that shows the medical use of marijuana increases the number of auto accidents, workplace accidents or absenteeism at work. "We've had a 15-year-long social experiment and nothing has happened," St. Pierre said. "The sun still rises in the east and sets in the west. The tides turn twice a day. Nothing has changed." Some people see the legalization of marijuana as a business opportunity. Bob Heffernan, executive director of the Connecticut Nursery and Landscape Association, said he knows several growers in the state who have expressed an interest in growing marijuana under the state law. That law stipulates that there can be no fewer than three, but no more than 10, growers in the state. "I've had a lot of calls about it," Heffernan said. That is because when marijuana is grown for the medical market, it will have to be grown in a greenhouse under controlled conditions. The state's nursery industry -- which now accounts for half of the state's agriculture -- grows a lot of plants in greenhouses. "We'd be the logical choice," he said. Heffernan said no one has experience in growing marijuana legally in the state up to this point. "All we can go on is the experience of other states," he said. That experience, Heffernan noted, has shown it to be a lucrative business. Godfrey said he once spoke to Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer about medical marijuana. "They're a farming state," he said. "Marijuana is a big part of their industry." Likewise, Peter D'Aprile, owner of the English Apothecary in Bethel, said he is definitely interested in the program. "I just got a call from someone working in a hospice about this," D'Aprile said about the availability of medical marijuana. "It will help people that need help, and it will give me a new revenue stream," he said. "For me, it's a win-win situation." On the other hand, pharmacist Jim Cangelosi, owner of the Brookfield Pharmacy, said as long as it's illegal under federal law, he'll steer clear of becoming a dispenser. "I wouldn't want to make a big investment, then have the feds shut me down," Cangelosi said. "I don't run my business dealing with gray areas. "This is a gray area."Source: Danbury New Times (CT)Author: Robert MillerPublished: June 19, 2012Copyright: 2012 News-Times Media Contact: editor newstimes.comWebsite: http://www.newstimes.com/URL: http://drugsense.org/url/Ak3Ky6L8CannabisNews Medical Marijuana Archiveshttp://cannabisnews.com/news/list/medical.shtml Home Comment Email Register Recent Comments Help Comment #1 posted by The GCW on June 19, 2012 at 05:58:54 PT Truth US CO: Legal pot shops do not boost teen drug use, Colorado study saysWebpage: http://www.denverpost.com/breakingnews/ci_20886624/legal-pot-shops-do-not-boost-teen-drug Pubdate: Tuesday 19, June 2012"If anything it goes down."

Matthew Newton says he's a changed man
Actor Matthew Newton has opened up about his violent past, saying his outbursts were provoked by a "wave of terror" and "hopelessness".
The troubled star said his erratic behaviour was also brought on by his mental illness and a feeling that he was "about to die".
"That's when I end up running out of options, feeling like I don't know what to do," he told the Nine Network.
Newton, 36, was charged with the assault of his former girlfriend, Australian actress Brooke Satchwell, in 2007.
In 2010, he allegedly assaulted his then-fiancee, actress Rachael Taylor, in the lobby of a hotel in Italy.
Newton was also charged with the assault of a taxi driver in Sydney in 2011.
The actor said he knew he hit "rock bottom" when he was arrested for hitting a hotel clerk in the face in Miami, USA, last year.
"I was put in the back of the police car and I realised I was completely alone. I realised there were two choices: there was help, there was honestly opening myself up and asking for help, or there was nothing, there was the end," he said.
Newton also admitted he had never been given an official diagnosis on his mental illness, despite repeatedly avoiding conviction on the grounds of mental health, specifically bipolar disorder.
He said he was completely at fault for assaults on his former girlfriends.
"It's never okay to hit someone," he said.
The actor stressed that he's on the mend and is working through his issues without being on "addictive" medication which he had been using to help with his mental illness.
"I'm now doing everything in my human power to make sure that any events of the past don't occur again."
Newtown is hopeful of getting back to acting and said offers of work in America and Australia were re-emerging.
"I want, in the second half of my life, to be an exemplary citizen, a successful professional and one day a really good parent."

What is the date for Eid Al-Fitr in 2015?
Eid is a day when Muslims around the world try to show a common goal of unity. The date for the start of any lunar Hijri month varies based on the observation of new moon by local religious authorities, so the exact day of celebration varies by locality. However in most countries, it is generally celebrated on the same day as Saudi Arabia.
Eid al-Fitr has a particular Salat (Islamic prayer) consisting of two Rakats (units) and generally offered in an open field or large hall. It may only be performed in congregation (Jama'at) and has an additional extra six Takbirs (raising of the hands to the ears while saying "Allāhu Akbar", literally "God is greater"), three of them in the beginning of the first raka'ah and three of them just before Ruku' in the second raka'ah in the Hanafi school of Sunni Islam.
Other Sunni schools usually have twelve Takbirs, seven in the first, and five at the begining of the second raka'ah. This Eid al-Fitr salat is,depending on which juristic opinion is followed, Fard (obligatory), Mustahabb (strongly recommended, just short of obligatory) or mandoob (preferable).
Muslims believe that they are commanded by God, as mentioned in the Quran, to continue heir fast until the last day of Ramadan and pay the Zakat and fitra before offering the Eid prayers. Eid Quotes Eid Mubarak Quotes Eid Al Fitr Quotes Sending warm wishes across the miles… Just to let you know how much you are missed on EID Day Eid bring Fun, Eid bring Happiness, Eid bring God Endless Blessings, Eid bring fresh love… Eid Mubarak to You with all best wishes Consider my this message as a hug with saying Eid Mubarak. May Allah always bestow glories, Successes and happinesses to you and your family, Ameen. May Allah bless you on this auspicious day of Eid, and May it be a new beginning of happiness. Wish you a Happy Eid Mubarak Its more than just an Eid wish, more than a message too. For it comes with warm and loving thoughts because it's meant for you. Eid Mubarak
Fasting is also believed by some scholars to extol fundamental distinctions, lauding the power of the spiritual realm, while acknowledging the subordination of the physical realm.
Eid also teaches a Muslim to stay away from worldly desires and to focus entirely on the Lord and thank Him for his blessings.
It is a rejuvenation of the religion and it creates a stronger bond between the Muslim and his Lord. After the end of Ramadan, is a big celebration of Eid.
Eid al-Fitr Islamic TraditionEid al-Fitr marks the end of the fasting month of Ramadan. This has to do with the communal aspects of the fast, which expresses many of the basic values of the Muslim community; e.g., empathy for the poor, charity, worship, steadfastness, patience etc.

Hot Dog Gift Guide 2012
A unique hot dog feature each week from hot dog connoisseur and cartoonist Hawk Krall!
It's that time of year again—the time to find an amazing gift for the crazy hot dog maniac in your life. There's plenty of amazing new hot dog stuff this year (see the hot dog guides from 2011 and from 2010), including a brand new book from hot dog historian Bruce Kraig, hot dog cooking gadgets, t-shirts, and a whole bunch of delicious mail-order sauces.
Girlscantell Chicago Hot Dog Towel
Sara Selepouchin is a Philadelphia-based illustrator whose diagram drawings are available on a wide variety of products from tote bags to drink coasters. This classic Chicago dog towel printed in relish green is a no-brainer for any hot dog lover or Chicagoan, and a nice alternative for the modern hot dog enthusiast in your life who might be looking for something a little more subtle than the 7-foot long neon yellow sign I have in my kitchen. $15 from Etsy.com
Man Bites Dog by Bruce Kraig
A brand new follow-up to Bruce Kraig's book Hot Dog, A Global History published a few years ago, Man Bites Dog looks to be a much deeper dive into the current state of hot dog culture in the United States. I haven't seen the book yet, but a few entries on the website of awesome hot dog joints on Route 66 look promising. Definitely number one on my list this year.
Blackie's Hot Dogs T-Shirts
Sometimes it can be frustratingly hard to find T-shirts of your favorite hot dog joint, even harder to find online. But Blackie's - a classic Connecticut gas station turned hot dog joint that's been around forever - has these really nice looking shirts available on their website, along with their famous secret recipe hot pepper relish. $15 from blackieshotdogs.com
Cobra Dogs Gear
Cobra Dogs is a crazy combination hot dog truck and snowboard team operating out of Mount Hood, Oregon. All sorts of wild gear in their store from tank tops to hats and decals. $8 to $55 at cobradogs.com
Karl Ehmer Wieners
One of New Jersey's finest old-school pork stores, Karl Ehmer has been around since 1936 and I was sort of shocked that these are even available online. Order a pack of these pork and beef "Seitenwurst" (long wieners) or any of their other delicious products for the truly discerning hot dog connoisseur. $9.29 from karlehmer.com
Mista Dale's Mustard Slaw
After our taste test of mustard slaws and chow-chows from around the country (see the results here), Mista Dale's was our clear favorite. It's refreshing, not overly sweet, but also packs some serious spice. Delicious on those Karl Ehmer dogs but also terrific on chili, rice and beans, and really pretty much anything. $4.99 a jar from mistadales.com
Rochester Plate Sauce
One of our favorites from the Rochester "Beef Hot Sauce" taste test (see results here), this is some seriously delicious meat sauce that goes great on dogs (or "Texas Hots" as they're known up there) and authentic Rochester garbage plates but I also really enjoyed it over spaghetti, Cincinnati-style. (Regional blasphemy, I know, but it was great) $9.95 for 18-ounces from platesauce.com
Sport Pepper Seeds
Dying to make a real Chicago dog at home but can't find sport peppers and pepperoncini or jalapenos that are doing the trick? Buy a pack of sport pepper seeds and grow them yourself. I grew my own a couple years ago and they are super easy and pretty simple to pickle. Pair the seeds with some pickling spice and mason jars and you've got a complete kit. $2.85 for 18-ounces from tomatogrowers.com
Hot Dog EZ Bun Steamer
At first mesmerized by the infomercial, I was pretty quickly excited about what an awesome invention this is. Steaming hot dog buns at home is pretty much a pain in the ass, for me usually involving some sort of collapsing basket that came from a garage sale that may or may not end up soaking my buns with water. The real genius here is the hot dog opening in the middle so you don't have to take the whole thing out in order to remove your frankfurters. $7.99 from hotdogezbunsteamer.com
Hawk Krall Hot Dog Art
Last but not least, high-quality art prints of regional hot dogs from yours truly. Also have a few originals for sale this year as well. I've got a great holiday deal for a set of four for $100. $33 each + shipping/handling or a set of four for $100 from hawkkrall.net

Top 5 with Lisa Foiles: Top 5 with Lisa Foiles Returns
Pages PREV 1 2 3 4 5 6 NEXT
You take YouTube comments seriously?
Welcome back Lisa, we missed you!
Well, despite Unskippable, Yahtzee and Escape all being on different days, the stockpile of Tuesday releases is starting to make it my favorite weekday on The Escapist. :)
Welcome back, Lisa.
Welcome back Lisa, we missed you :D
Holy shit Blendy is back, hide yo foodstuffs and fingertips, blendy is back blarghghfh;ladahdjashaidg1111!!!1111oneoneone
I take them as an indication as to the reason people are watching the video, an indication of how people felt about the video. How did you miss my point so badly?
Took long enough.
Awesome news!!! I missed Lisa, and I always vouched for her return. yaaaaay!
Lisa's back I'M so happy just look at my happy face.................
Yay! Welcome back to the Escapist, Lisa.
It's about to get happy in my earholes again.
Even though it's only been like 2 years I'm still feeling some serious nostalgia right now.
I was wondering when her return video would surface. They announced at PAX East that she'd be coming back but didn't say exactly when. Always a fun watch, whether you agree or disagree.
I was really getting fond of Top Five and then it just disappeared. Long live Lisa Foiles!
Welcome back! I loved your lists on here, and I always enjoy your reviews on TGS!
Nice! I'll have to go through the back-catalog now. Didn't she have a running plotline towards the end? It's been so long it's hard to remember, but I thought that was the case.
April? But that's not now! Better freeze myself so the next week passes super quick.
Welcome back Lisa, I got one hell of a nostalgia trip from the clips.
OHHH! I've been longing for this for quite some time now. I just never could get into the new TOP 5 show.
Always enjoy Lisa Foiles. Saw her appear in a role on Leverage (an amazing TV series) and she was fantastical. I await the triumphant return.
My response. Welcome back Ms. Foiles!
Glad to hear it. Her personality and energy make her fun to watch.
And here i was just going to proceed with jumping up and down on my sofa in glee!
Today is a good day
The notably bland and heartless Smosh Games Top 5 had me remembering how much I wanted Lisa back!
I just looked back over the titles of her past videos to see If I actually remembered right about her lists being different from other lists out there.
Eh, yeah they were good. I always liked her delivery and format so yay.
Oh my gosh, just when I said you were never coming back in a thread a week ago HERE YOU ARE. Welcome back Lisa, can't wait to see your videos again.
Yay! I've missed these!
OMG, Lisa Foiles Returns !!! :D ... take 5 hearts ;) <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Good to see ya back!
I've seen a lot of top (put some number here) videos, but most don't have the level of showmanship you put into them.
:D Can't wait to see more!
So... maybe it's because I lived under a rock or something, but didn't Lisa leave in the first place because of a scuffle between the Escapist? A la Extra Credits?
I mean, I'm really glad she's back (I've been visiting her site now and then but it seems that it was her buddies that updated and not her directly) but... you know.
Or maybe I've missed something completely and could someone fill me in if so?
All of my Yay for you, Ms.Lisa.
ermahgerd Letha! Mah favrit terp ferve
I never noticed this but holy crap is she attractive. Dat red hair.
Anyway, I always enjoyed her top 5 videos on an entertainment basis and glad to see it's back.

Physical activity is any body movement that increases your heart beat, causes you to breathe harder, and requires more energy than you use while resting. Exercise is any structured physical activity you do specifically to improve health or fitness.
Physical activity is key to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. Balancing the calories you take in through food and drinks with the calories you burn during activity is important, even if you are currently at a healthy weight. Regular physical activity reduces the risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease, stroke, certain cancers, diabetes, high blood pressure, and others.
Nearly all people can benefit from physical activity. The benefits far outweigh the risks.
In children and adolescents, regular physical activity can lead to:
- Healthier body weight
- Improved heart, lung, and blood vessel function
- Stronger bones and muscles
- Improved mental well-being
In adults, regular physical activity can lead to the above, as well as:
- Lower risk of dying early from any cause
- Lower risk of developing certain chronic diseases and colon and breast cancer
- Help support weight loss and prevent weight gain
- Prevent falls and reduce the risk of breaking a hip
- Make it easier to perform daily activities
- Improve mental function
- Improve sleep
Park farther from the office, store, or school to add steps to your trip.
Take the bus!
Research shows that individuals who use public transit weigh less and achieve the daily recommendations for physical activity.
In 2008, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services developed the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. These guidelines follow the latest research emphasizing the benefits of regular physical activity for people of all ages:
Adults - For health benefits, adults should be active for at least:
150 minutes (2.5 hours) of moderate intensity activity a week, or 75 minutes (1 hour 15 mins) of vigorous activity per week.
For weight loss and additional health benefits, adults should increase their physical activity to:
300 minutes (5 hours) or moderate-intensity activity, or 150 minutes of vigorous activity, each week. Both aerobic (endurance) and muscle-strengthening (resistance) physical activity are beneficial.
Older Adults - Follow the same guidelines as other adults, but if this is difficult, older adults should be encouraged to be as active as their abilities will allow. Older adults should perform exercises that:
Maintain or improve balance to reduce the risk of accidental falls. Muscle strengthening exercises are also important to maintain balance and mobility as adults age.
Children/Youth - Children and adolescents should get:
60 minutes or more of moderate to vigorous physical activity every day.
Children can also benefit from muscle/bone strengthening activities, at least three days per week.
Healthy Pregnant or Postpartum Women - It is okay to be physically active during pregnancy and postpartum. If you are healthy, physical activity such as brisk walking, keeps your heart and lungs healthy and helps improve your mood during the postpartum period. After you have your baby, physical activity along with proper calorie intake helps with weight loss and maintenance of a healthy weight.
Healthy women should get at least 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity.
Healthy women who already do vigorous-intensity aerobic activity, like running, or large amounts of activity can continue to do so during and after pregnancy. It is important to stay healthy and discuss how and when activity should be modified with a health care provider.
If you begin activity during pregnancy, start slowly and gradually increase the activity over time. During pregnancy, avoid activities that involve lying flat on your back or that could put you at risk for falling or cause injury to your abdomen.
The lack of physical activity among youth, including non-structured play-time and reduced recess and physical education is taking a toll. Children are spending less than half as much time outside today as they did 20 years ago. Whether watching television, playing on the computer or with video games, children are spending less time being active outdoors, and more time plugged in indoors. Children spend an average 7 hours per day plugged into electronic media; some may spend only 30 minutes per week outside.
This lack of outdoor exposure and activity contributes to the increase in childhood overweight and obesity as well as depression, asthma, attention deficit disorders and pharmaceutical use. For many of these physical, mental and emotional problems, the cure may be just outside the door.
IPAN encourages every Idahoan to reduce their screen time and increase their green time by spending more time playing, exploring and reconnecting with nature.

The O.S. on HD or USB, but could do CD-DVD boot too of course.
A CD and DVD are storage devices, but can boot an O.S. into ram well.
Base O.S. is 2 files like Murga`s Puppy with Sq. inside the image.gz file.
The kernel extracts a cpio file to initrdfs, and an image file to a ramdisk.
A ramdisk is simple, initrdfs is more complex and definitely overkill.
Root FS is dirs., links, and Sq. file(s), so a fixed size ramdisk of ~ 40 MB.
AppPkgs. can be loaded/unloaded in ram or not to manage the ram usage.
/bin, /lib, /sbin, and most of /usr are in a Sq. file or files. No union FS.
/dev, /mnt, /proc, /sys, /tmp are in image.gz and extracted to the ramdisk.
/etc, /home, /opt, /root, /var on partition, /usr/etc + /usr/local/etc => /etc.
/usr/share could be on partition, but AppPkg using a union it`s in a Sq. file.
O.S. has simple desktop and utilities, other WMs and desktops in AppPkgs.

What do you mean by junction link in Windows? Windows doesn't even have symbolic links. A Windows 'shortcut' is a real file which contains 'directions' to the item short-cutted item.
Wouldn't it be simpler to create you setup so that anything the user wants can simply be installed including dependencies, using dpkg and that file would then all reside on the USB stick or HD? The maximum implementation of modularity is achieved with normal packages. I only create AppDirs where the nature of the application indictates the utility of it.
Under Puppy, most AppDirs wind up acting simply as shortcits to start a program. I mean the special edvantages of using an AppDir are not implemented or used at all. I use an AppDir when I want nice drag-n-drop functionality or a switchable default behaviour -right click to change options. Most Puppy stuff uses a complex right-click or default MIME-type script to offer such options. For instance, under Puppy, when you click on an html file, you might get a pop-up menu which lets you choose between opening the file with a browser or with an editor.
I find it nicer to simply have an AppDir for each -if I want to edit something I drop it on the editor AppDir. If I want to view it with a browser I drop it on the browser AppDir. These AppDirs don't necessarily *contain* the application. Instead, the AppDir provides a versatile, configurable way to access the application. This actually follows the original RISC/ROX concept -where the user is able to focus on *his files* and not the programs he uses to manipulate them. What I mean is this: the user always knows where his files are -right where he saved them. He can find them much easier than first finding an app to manipulate them, opening that app, then using the apps 'Open' feature to (again) browse to where the file is that he wants to open.
Another example. I created an AppDir which consists of just scripting for working with archives. If you drop a file or a directory on it, then it offers option windows for creation of an archive. If you drop an archive(or compressed file) on it, then it offers options for decompressing the archive or file.
Do you see the way the interaction with the user is turned around? It keeps a normal user from having to navigate through the bin dirs for apps. It also avoids navigating through menus -once the AppDir is on the desktop it is always easily available. Some folks like a GUI without any taskbar or menu at all.
Hope you don't think I'm trying to provoke you in a mean way or even convince you of a certain view of things. I'm just trying to tickle your brain as go along...

No no, it`s all "food for thought". MU made a number of desktop DnD apps.
And this is an excellent use of the AppDir concept, though a very simple one.
It`s very nice having "things" in dirs. and Sq., can even drop AppDirs on AppDirs!
Puppy doesn`t really need AppDir or RoxApp, SFS files do well in Precise and Slacko.
Puppy has a lot of utilities to deal with SFS files, booting, load/unload, upgrade, etc.
It`s good using dpkg to build AppPkgs, but for installing apps. the target O.S. must have it.
AppPkg doesn`t assume the target O.S. has any installed infrastructure, as none is needed.
To go the "installed" infrastructure route, then I`d put it in an AppPkg ( so it`s not installed ).
So then all the AppPkg apps. rely on an AppPkg dep. to work ( not really what I had in mind ).
2 intentions for AppPkg, app. portability ( for compatible O.S.s ), and for my AppPkg only O.S.
With AppPkg handling all of it`s functioning itself, the O.S. needs few installed utilities ( lean ).
Working from the file point of view is definitely much better than access through menus.
Puppy`s ROX right-click could be improved a lot though. Whatever menu type, sub menus suck.
Some like desktop icons, and some want a clean DT. I like the idea of many slide-out panels.
I posted a concept of labeled colored bars anywhere along the screen sides. hover to slide-out.
On a single left side panel: desktop buttons, drive/partition buttons, task-bar buttons, and tray.
Task-bar and drive/partition buttons are stacked vertically so lots of them fit in a small space.
Another left side panel bar labeled menu is a slide-out apps. menu that can also be DnD on.
Desktop icons get covered up, but the bars and panels are on-top, so drag-hover-select-drop.
Desktop icons are messy, slide-out panels organize items and the desktop`s clean and pristine.
### M$ junction is not a shortcut:
### P.S.: Can`t seem to get Chrome to work, it should work.
I had no trouble getting it to work the old way with links.
Error and line 17 of google-chrome wrapper script:
/usr/bin/google-chrome: line 17: /dev/null: Permission denied
Failed to open /dev/null
if ! which xdg-settings &> /dev/null; then
It`s looking for installed xdg utilities:
# We include some xdg utilities next to the binary, and we want to prefer them
# over the system versions when we know the system versions are very old. We
# detect whether the system xdg utilities are sufficiently new to be likely to
# work for us by looking for xdg-settings. If we find it, we leave $PATH alone,
# so that the system xdg utilities (including any distro patches) will be used.
I tried running a modified command in rxvt ( it works okay...):
sh-4.1# if ! which xdg-settings &> /dev/null; then echo GOOD ;fi
I checked the union dir. and everything seems to be there.
I don`t see how the union or chroot would make /dev/null inaccessible.

The NTFS junction seem to be simple links -actually less-feature than linux symlinks in every way and do not provide a multi-target capability. They do introduce a term -reparse junction which is useful for the discussion, since any such multi-link-target capability will require parsing the optioanl points and deciding according to priorities which file should be linked to -must not forget handling the possibility that none of the possible links are valid/present.
About /dev/null, that is strange. Is chrome running as root or non-privileged user? Is the execution being done by a wrapper script? If so, llok for /dev/null in there to see more of what is going on.

If none of the paths in a j-Link have the target dir. or file, it`s the same as any "not found" error.
Yes, the wrapper script errors at line 17 ( shown in post above ).
I thought about if unionfs-fuse was messing with the allowed users.
So I tried running it with the option:
-o allow_other allow access to other users
It made no difference.
gparted is always been a real pickle to get working also, "Buss error".
I didn`t think gparted is complex, uses lots of libs. But should be simple.
I`m guessing mPlayer and Handbrake will be lots of fun too.
Had good luck with music players, simpler? Not screwed up intentionally?
# If this is how the complex apps. go, the AppPkg builder becomes a tool.
Making build scripts for apps. is probably pointless, they keep changing.
### So the Linux O.S. is not the Linux problem, the damn apps. are.!!!

Hmm, you may be needing to mount /proc in the chroot so that needed stuff is avialable -like /proc/partitions, /proc/mounts and others.
chroot, mount /proc, then exec the app...

Thanks amigo; I don`t intend to bother you with diagnosing apps.
Here`s the run file:
chroot $Pkg/$Pkg.u /proc
./setup &
# The error is completely different:
chroot: can't execute '/proc': Permission denied
./run: line 2: google-chrome: command not found
No change when I tried it with: unionfs-fuse -o allow_other
### Update: I put "pwd" and "ls" commands to test it.
I had to use "sleep 30" as "read K" didn`t work inside the chroot.
Here`s the errors:
# Mount Union: chrome-24_i386.u
ls: cannot access /usr/bin/google-chrome: No such file or directory
ls: cannot access /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome: No such file or directory
./run: line 9: google-chrome: command not found
But when I look in the union`s paths the files ARE there.!!!

Post subject:
"can't execute '/proc'"
The last errors are because the chroot is failing. This does all relate to the method you are trying. You need to mount proc inside the chroot. The last argument to chroot is the command to run inside the chroot -/bin/sh would be the 'manual' way to enter the chroot. Since you need to run more than one comand, you can cat them together into a variable:
CHROOT_CMD="mount /proc; mount /sys; ..."
./setup &
Is this script receiving some parameters in $@? And, is the setup script really in '/' of the chroot?
Try setting up a chroot manually so you can get in there and see better what is going on and how it works. You shouldn't be needing to use LD_LIBRARY_PATH at all.

Chroot, that`s what I thought, the union seems to be working ( more or less...).
I tried your suggestion on Chrome and Xfe and both jam at the chroot command and I have to unmount it all.
Xfe runs with the original commands, but can`t find /share stuff ( it`s there...) and /.Choices permission error.
Xfe isn`t a complex app., just icons and a config. file in /share.
xMahjongg runs nice and fast, no problems ( I guess not that odd...).
And it`s using the original commands:
chroot $Pkg/$Pkg.u $@
./setup &
The thing that I noticed that amazed me was, the setup file is outside the chroot, but it still runs.!!!
There`s a lot of wacky stuff going on with this setup, need to get a handle on it for it to be useful.

My, you are up early! You posted as I was editing my last post.
Really, try setting one up manually so you can really understand the union and then the chroot. Use a simpler example -xmahjongg should be good -it probably writes to /var/games (scores) and maybe looks for a conf file besides /usr/bin and /usr/lib?

It`s 2 am here but I stay up late a bit, I`m about to go to sleep.
The chroot wants an exec., it doesn`t jam if I use: chroot (union) pwd
xMahjongg has no config. or /var files, just game graphics in /share
Xfe runs but can`t find some deps. in /share ( what`s different? )
Chrome can`t even find it`s main exec. script: google-chrome
And it reports:
/ ( pwd command )
mount: proc already mounted
./run: line 3: google-chrome: command not found
It sounds like your saying a bunch of stuff needs mounting for it to find files in the union?
As I said, the files are there, the union does seem to be working.
Chroot looks to be the bugger upper, it seems to mess with file access.

A couple of questions? Where did you get chrome from? Is it packaged in some way as a *.deb?
I think mhddfs is not really the right tool -it expects every layer to be read-write which is not gonna be the case if using squahsfs *images*.
unionfs-fuse is also in the repos so you should be able to use it just as well -it's gonna provide better control.
Can you install chrome normally and verify that it actually works on your system? If so, we can go to next step by creating a normal chroot environment manually.

FYI, I'd enter a chroot with something like this (loosely based on my script plus a couple changes)
cd $1 && shift && \
for d in dev dev/pts proc sys
mkdir $d ; mount --bind /$d ./$d
mkdir etc; cp /etc/resolv.conf etc/
chroot ./ $@
dev/pts is mainly for terminals, sys is rarely needed (only for runtime configuration of the kernel), proc is usually not needed. You may want to add dev/shm for shared memory, delete resolv.conf to prevent network access, add etc/hosts or etc/fstab, or $HOME/somedir, and so on.
Usage would be about like so:
chrootin /opt/chrome /usr/bin/chromewrapper http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy
where /opt/chrome/usr/bin/chromewrapper is the command executed.
Note the need to add a shell inside the chroot if you want to run scripts!

amigo; From Google for Ubuntu:
After I posted the 3 AppPkg scripts I changed to unionfs-fuse from Ubuntu Precise.
Both it and mhddfs had the same problem of the files not being found.
The 2 commands I`ve tried:
# unionfs-fuse $Pkg/$Pkg.rw=RW:$Pkg/$Pkg.app=RO:/=RO $Pkg/$Pkg.u
unionfs-fuse -o allow_other $Pkg/$Pkg.rw=RW:$Pkg/$Pkg.app=RO:/=RO $Pkg/$Pkg.u
I`m posting this from Chrome-24 that I originally got working with my "Links & Paths" method.
Ibidem; This is a union setup: a Save layer ( dir.) on a Chrome layer ( Sq. file ) on /.
chroot to / should allow a normal operating system shouldn`t it?
I look at the union and all the files are there: Save, Chrome, and /.
But the run script errors saying it can`t find the Chrome wrapper script.
If it takes a lot of code to make this work, then it`s not much better than my "Links & Paths" method.
My starting criteria was: 1 method that will work for everything ( a Silver Bullet ).
Tiny Core has scm apps., I noticed that they use many different methods for making them.

Looking at the command line I think you're mounting the union including / on an app directory, rather than on /.
In other words, after all the union stuff finishes, you need to have a union root with an appdir layer. Instead, you have / as a layer in a union appdir. This will only work if you somehow remount stuff in different locations (I know it's possible...) or chroot in.

Ruling: Houston can't void state air permit
The Texas Supreme Court ruled Friday that Houston may not effectively void a state air pollution permit.
The justices agreed with Southern Crushed Concrete that Houston's 2007 law restricting the location of concrete-crushing facilities violates state statute by nullifying a permit issued by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
In reversing an appeals court decision, Justice Debra Lehrmann said the state's Health and Safety Code is clear.
The law "compels us to give effect to the Legislature's clear intent that a city may not pass an ordinance that effectively moots a Commission decision," Lehrmann wrote in an opinion for the nine-member court.
City Attorney Dave Feldman said he was not surprised by the ruling because "any time you have a local ordinance that regulates a specific area that is regulated by the state, preemption is an issue that you have to deal with."
Houston passed its law in 2007 in response to concerns over public health by those who live near Southern Crushed Concrete's site on West Bellfort near Texas 288.
State law requires rock crushers to be more than a quarter-mile from residential areas, while the city ordinance calls for a buffer of 1,500 feet from the company's property line, not the crushing machinery itself.
Southern Crushed Concrete's facility meets the state's requirement, but not the city's. So the company sued, claiming the city did not have the authority to regulate its business.
Houston countered that the state's permit regulates air pollution, while its ordinance dealt with land use. The Supreme Court, however, disagreed, ruling that reasoning would allow a city to effectively void any TCEQ permit it opposes.
"It underscores that whenever a municipality … seeks to regulate in an area that's already the subject of state law, you've got to be cautious," Feldman said. "I want to look at the ordinance and the state law together and see whether there's something we can do that might still provide for more effective regulation but be in harmony with the state law."
The city has appealed the state permit to TCEQ, which put the matter on hold until the Supreme Court made a decision. Feldman said the city will continue to oppose the permit.
"It's not over, in other words," he said.

Not to be mistaken for a forester or wood harvester, an arborist is focused on the safety and health of the individual tree or plant - lending his/her expertise to ensuring that the trees (and other plants) grow up strong and stay free of diseases.
Reasons for Hiring an Arborist in Chester County PA
There are many reasons to consider the plant healthcare services an arborist can offer; trees are one of our most valuable natural assets - particularly in urban areas. But like human beings, trees are living organisms; meaning they requirement an investment of time and resources into maintaining their health so they will grow and thrive for generations to come.
Here are some of the specific benefits trees provide for the environment around them:
- Cleaner Air: Trees provide natural filtration of particulate matter as well as natural absorption of certain gases that can harm the atmosphere.
- Water Purification: Trees naturally slow and filter out rain water, providing protection for watershed and aquifers.
- Helps Control Climate: Trees naturally modify climate conditions such as wind, rain and sunlight; their presence helps reduce the negative effects of these conditions when they become extreme.
- Reduced Energy Costs: Trees reduce the costs of heating your home in the winter and cooling it in the summer.
- Higher Property Values: At re-sale time, a well-planned landscaping scheme with several healthy and vibrant trees will increase your property value by anywhere between 5% and 20%.
To realize the many natural benefits trees provide, they need to be properly maintained. For this reason, we recommend that you have your trees and other plants treated by a certified arborist.
- Pest and Disease Scouting
- Assessment of Overall Landscape Health
- Assessment of Possible Tree Hazards
- Consideration of New Management Principles

vfs_mount — generic file system mount function
#include <sys/param.h> #include <sys/mount.h> int vfs_mount(struct thread *td, const char *fstype, char *fspath, int fsflags, void *fsdata);
The vfs_mount() function handles the generic portion of mounting a file system, and calls the file system specific mount function after verifying its parameters and setting up the structures expected by the underlying mount code. vfs_mount() is called directly by the mount(2) system call. Its arguments are: td The thread responsible for this call. fstype The type of file system being mounted. fspath The path to the mount point of the file system. fsflags Flags controlling the mount. See mount(2) for details. MNT_EXPORTED, MNT_NOSUID, MNT_UPDATE, MNT_RELOAD, MNT_FORCE, MNT_ASYNC, MNT_SYNCHRONOUS, MNT_UNION, MNT_NOATIME, MNT_SNAPSHOT, MNT_NOCLUSTERR, MNT_NOCLUSTERW, MNT_IGNORE, MNT_UNION, MNT_NOSYMFOLLOW fsdata File system specific data structure. It is in userspace when passed to vfs_mount() and is left untouched when passed to file system's mount().
A 0 value is returned on success.
[ENAMETOOLONG] The fs type or the mount point path is too long or any individual path component is too long. [EPERM] Permission denied. There are a number of reason this can occur ranging from the user not having permission to mount a file system to the securelevel being to high to load the fstype module. [EINVAL] Invalid operation (ex: trying to update a non mount-point). [ENOENT] The mount point does not exist (from namei()). [ELOOP] The mount point is a muddle of links (from namei()). [EOPNOTSUPP] The operation is not supported (ex: reloading a r/w file system). [EBUSY] The mount point is busy or is not really a mount point (on update). [ENOTDIR] The mount point is not a directory. [ENODEV] The kernel linker was unable to load the specified fstype or was unable to find the specified fstype module. Other errors can be returned by the file system's mount() and you should check the specific file system for details. Also this call relies on a large number of other kernel services whose errors it returns so this list may not be exhaustive.

The most painful part of debt is the interest. It can be crushing.
Let's say you borrow $200,000 on a 30 year fixed mortgage at 6%. That's a pretty typical home loan that someone might have taken out in the mid-2000s if they had decent credit and a down payment.
Over the course of that loan, you'd have to pay back the $200,000, of course. You'd also have to pay back $231,676.38 in interest.
To get that $200,000 home, you'd have to pay a total of $431,676.38 to the bank.
Now, let's say you were able to refinance that loan down to a 4% loan, something that you could actually get in today's market. You do that refinancing at the 4 year mark into a new 30 year loan.
Over the course of those two loans, you'd have to pay back the $200,000, but you'd only have to pay back $182,783.91 in interest. You're saving almost $50,000 by refinancing. You're also trimming your monthly payment by about $70, though you are adding a few years to the length of it.
That number gets even better the earlier you can refinance and the bigger the change in interest rate when you do so.
A similar tactic comes in the form of loan consolidation, often seen with student loans. Many lenders will happily consolidate several of your student loans into a single loan, often chopping interest rates.
If you have a $30,000 loan at 7% over ten years and a $20,000 loan at 9% over ten years and you find a lender to consolidate those loans into one loan of $50,000 at 6% over ten years, you save $5,588.94 just because of one simple move. You'll also have reduced your monthly payments by about $45 per month.
Refinancing debts can have a tremendous impact on the amount of money you pay, both on a monthly basis and on an overall basis. Saving $50 a month can turn an unworkable situation into a workable one, or turn a situation where you're making no debt progress into one where you can start chipping away at your credit cards.
Home mortgages and student loans are two of the most common types of debts you can refinance, but you can sometimes refinance other debts as well. How? We'll discuss that tomorrow.

... meet a real hero who challenged me to face everything life could throw at me with confidence, determination and commitment.
When I was 12 years old, I felt like I was on top of the world. I'd just made the cheerleading squad. I'd been inducted into the National Junior Honor Society. My coach had named me the No. 1 pitcher for our softball team, and I was voted middle-school president.
My family went out for a celebration dinner. As I was sitting across from my mom with my hair pulled back and head turned, she saw a slight bulge on the side of my neck.
We went to my doctor's office the very next day. She prescribed some antibiotics and told us to come back in a few days. At my follow-up exam, the lump had grown larger. The next thing I knew, I was lying on a cold operating room table.
I woke up at home and saw my mother's friends crying as if someone had just died. I asked my mom what was going on. She told me the doctor said my blood looked funny, and they wanted to run some more tests.
On the last day of school in my seventh-grade year, I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Instead of having my friends sign my yearbook, I was in a fog listening to some doctor talk about cancer, chemo and surgery. Soon, I was losing weight and my hair was falling out. After months of intensive chemotherapy, excruciating spinal taps, bone marrow draws, blood transfusions, surgeries and MRIs, I was an 86-pound skeleton – and fighting for my life.
While enduring endless hours in the hospital, I became inspired by the true story behind the Disney movie, "Cool Runnings." It's about four Jamaicans who overcame enormous obstacles to achieve their dream of competing in the Winter Olympics as bobsledders.
Their triumph over adversity inspired and motivated me to conquer cancer and face the world, determined to return to living a full life.
When the Make-A-Wish® Eastern Virginia offered to grant me a wish, I wished to meet Chris Stokes, the captain of that Jamaican Bobsled Team. Meeting Chris in Jamaica was a pivotal moment in my recovery.
Make-A-Wish provided me with the chance to meet a real hero who challenged me to face everything life could throw at me with confidence, determination and commitment.
Since that meeting, I have done just that.
Since her wish, Lindsey has led a full and accomplished life. She was the first-ever youth representative on the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life National Advisory Board and was named Miss Virginia Beach 2003. In 2006, she graduated from the College of Law at the University of Tulsa and married her law-school sweetheart. Today, Lindsey is a mother of two.

Wow. Lindsey! That is a cool wish!! I am a wish kid, I have Cystic Fibrosis, and I went on a shopping spree last year for my wish. I love the movie Cool Runnings, it is so inspiring, and one of my favorites. Congrats! I hope your cancer is better. Jesus loves you!!

Technical Paper
Waste Heat Recovery from Multiple Heat Sources in a HD Truck Diesel Engine Using a Rankine Cycle - A Theoretical Evaluation
Few previous publications investigate the possibility of combining multiple waste heat sources in a combustion engine waste heat recovery system. A waste heat recovery system for a HD truck diesel engine is evaluated for utilizing multiple heat sources found in a conventional HD diesel engine. In this type of engine more than 50% of heat energy goes futile. The majority of the heat energy is lost through engine exhaust and cooling devices such as EGRC (Exhaust gas recirculation cooler), CAC (Charge air cooler) and engine cooling. In this paper, the potential of usable heat recuperation from these devices using thermodynamic analysis was studied, and also an effort is made to recuperate most of the available heat energy that would otherwise be lost. A well-known way of recuperating this heat energy is by employing a Rankine cycle circuit with these devices as heat sources (single loop or dual loop), and thus this study is focused on using a Rankine cycle for the heat recovery system.

A 2-year, round-the-globe expedition that pays homage to 6 modern meccas of state-of-the-art longboarding.
Bonga Perkins, Dino Miranda, Belinda BaggsWatch Trailer
|Hang is a verb. It's a noun. It's a transitive state of being. It's an attitude a suspension of gravity and disbelief.
In surfing, 'hanging' means putting ten toes over the nose in the supreme act of finely honed edgework, the Hang Ten. To hang ten means to hang your hide out in full screaming trim down-the-line commitment with no leash and no net. It's a tightrope jig over the abyss dancing stylishly on the edge of disaster.
"Hang" is also an investigation into the Manifest Destiny of the Longboard Cult. Featuring the elite of modern day longboarding, "Hang" is a two-year, round-the-globe expedition that pays homage to six modern meccas of state-of-the-art longboarding.

Facing a swell of anger from legislators, Governor Deval Patrick's new point person in charge of fixing the state's broken health insurance website pledged a Herculean effort, but did not offer an exact timeline or a specific plan for when and how the website will be repaired so people can enroll in the coverage of their choice.
During a State House hearing that lasted more than three hours Wednesday, Sarah Iselin, an insurance executive who Patrick said last week would take the lead in fixing the troubled Massachusetts Health Connector site, said she understands the gravity of the problem, is working to fully grasp its parameters, and will lead an all-out push to fix it.
"We will be successful both in protecting coverage for those who have it and achieving our goal of having a world-class Exchange website," she said, adding that her team has and will continue to work nights and weekends to craft a fix.
Iselin faced sometimes emotional questions from lawmakers who telegraphed the fear and anger they said their constituents experienced as they wondered whether they had health insurance or would be on the hook for massive medical costs.
Representative F. Jay Barrows, a Mansfield Republican, was particularly fired up.
"What do I tell the constituent who calls and says: 'Representative Barrows, I've submitted everything, my check's been cashed, in December. I don't have my ID card. My doctor won't see my sick child.' What do we tell them?" he asked.
The state's formerly easy-to-use insurance shopping website has barely functioned since it relaunched in October to comply with requirements of President Obama's health care law, the Affordable Care Act.
The dysfunctional site has left some people unable to get coverage and others unsure if their applications have gone through or whether their insurance has lapsed.
The problems have required the state to move tens of thousands of people whose applications could not be processed into temporary insurance programs.
"We have had people fall through the cracks," exclaimed Representative Marjorie C. Decker, a Cambridge Democrat.
"We've got people out here that can't afford to wait while we fix this thing," said Representative Gloria L. Fox, a Roxbury Democrat.
Again and again, Iselin acknowledged the problems and the impact they have had on individuals' lives. But she repeatedly emphasized that a fix is not imminent.
"I hear the urgency; I experience it, too. We all do," she said. "But it's going to take us a little while to dig out of the hole that we're in."
Iselin did not offer a specific timeline for a fully functional website. Neither did she say when the state will improve insurance sign-up workarounds, such as phone centers and paper applications.
She said the state has asked the federal government for a six-month extension to continue the subsidized-care program and a stopgap insurance program, which are due to be phased out by March 31.
Iselin will return to Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts after four months and does not expect the project of fixing the website to be fully complete by then, she said.
Pressed by lawmakers about specifics, Iselin repeatedly reminded them that she has only been on the job for a week and is still getting a handle on the problem.
Many of the questions focused on CGI, the company hired to make the new, Affordable Care Act-compliant website, but failed to craft one that functioned.
Iselin said the state has not paid CGI since October. "They're on a very short leash," she said.
Senator James T. Welch, chairman of the Joint Committee on Health Care Financing, asked a followup question about the company's efforts.
"I don't want to speak for them," Iselin said.
"Somebody's got to," the West Springfield Democrat interjected.
Speaking to reporters Wednesday, Patrick said he, too, is frustrated with CGI. "I'm angry, too, that we didn't get what we paid for," he said.
"I think we've got a good plan," he said. "We do not, or have not, had a very good vendor. That's for sure. But I think we have a very good team in to try to get us back on track."
The state recently hired technology firm Optum to help with the effort.
"CGI remains determined to help Massachusetts residents get insured by enrolling in health plans via the Connector, and we fully intend to meet our contractual obligations," CGI spokeswoman Linda F. Odorisio said in a statement.
At the hearing, Welch repeatedly pressed Iselin on whether there was anyone from the state with information technology expertise overseeing the effort.
Iselin said the state is relying on its vendors, but that she would make sure the public is kept informed about the progress.

Human Energy Field
The sun is the mother of all energy sources that drives virtually all life on this planet. Living beings are energy beings, atoms and electrons within our body create a flowing energy field to provide sufficient energy for our cells to work optimally. In other words, energy is a life force and is the source of human health and vitality.
Energy balancing is based on the existence of energy patterns within and around the body that form a matrix used by the body to maintain itself in a state of "wellness". The human energy field is also the protective shield that keeps the body healthy. Body cells communicate with each other by means of a certain wavelength (frequency) and this wavelength is unique to each person. All tissues including skin, liver, bones and other organs have their own oscillation and they resonate on their own special frequency. Bio resonance means seeking and passing on of all the frequencies necessary for the stimulation and final regulation of the organism, and giving the body the chance of self regeneration.
However, today's modernization has led to a drastic decline of the human energy field. Stressful lifestyles, widespread usage of electronic gadgets, environmental pollution, unbalanced diet, unhealthy lifestyles and breathing in toxins have resulted in an imbalance of the electromagnetic frequencies or energy field. Energy blocks are established and the human energy field becomes imbalanced, causing gaps and interrupting the flow of vital energies or the life force. Thus, physical organs activities are obstructed and eventually lead to different kinds of pathological changes and chronic illness.
Quality Sleep
Sleep represents one third of our lifelong activity; thus a quality sleep and rest is vital for our overall well-being. It is important to physical and mental health, and to optimize our daily functions. What is quality sleep? Quality sleep means having sufficient duration and depth of rest that results in one feeling awake and refreshed throughout the day.
When our body is at rest, all our cells are renewed and recharged, ongoing repair work to injuries and illnesses take place; our brain activities that control emotions, decision-making processes, and social interaction shuts down, allowing us to maintain optimal emotional and social functioning when we are awake. Sleeps also strengthens the presence of our mind and consciousness, makes us feel energized and physically more alert. It also enhances our memory and learning capacity; reduces stress, tension and anxiety. A quality sleep keeps our heart healthy and reduces the risk of depression.

And consider this.
Dai Vernon was an amateur magician. Criss Angel is a professional. Take your pick.
This is precisely why, often, the opinion of the amateur far outweighs the opinion of the professional, contrary to what some believe.
A master of the art is a master of the art regardless of how he makes his living.
I know great magicians on both sides.
I also know of terrible amateurs, and professionals who have been deluding themselves for decades.
If a professional deludes himself for too long he ends up not eating. If an amateur deludes himself he can still end up on the fat side.
"If a professional deludes himself for too long he ends up not eating. "
Correct. Some of them can't without borrowing money. And yet the delusion often continues.

Milwaukee's hockey team in national spotlight
Admirals appear in Sports Illustrated
Milwaukee's minor league hockey team is getting national attention.
The Milwaukee Admirals appear in the latest issue of Sports Illustrated. The action shot was taken during a game last month against Chicago. The caption talks about hockey still being played despite a lockout in the National Hockey League.
WISN 12 News' Patrick Paolantonio got the reactions from some of the players about when they saw the photo.
"It was definitely a cool picture. It was one of the freeze cam ones. So everyone's got kind of a funny face on and what not, but it was nice for our team to get in there," Admirals defenseman Ryan Ellis said.
"It's pretty cool. It's a good picture. I actually saw it up on the big screen in Chicago and I was like, 'Well, that's a good picture.' And then lo and behold, like a week later, it comes out," Admirals goalie Jeremy Smith said.
"I guess it's pretty cool. I wasn't doing much, just kind of hanging out, just standing there in the slot, but I guess it's pretty neat. I think it's something that's a little cooler for mom and dad maybe. The folks are pretty excited about it," Admirals center Mark Van Guilder said.
The team said the Admirals have been mentioned in the magazine before, and former Admirals players have been in there, but to its knowledge, this is the first time there's been a photo of the Milwaukee Admirals in Sports Illustrated.
The Admirals president said he had no idea about the photo until a season ticket holder sent him a message on Facebook asking if he saw Sports Illustrated.
